We spent so much time on the lovely lanai watching the surfers and turtles below. The view is great from inside too with the huge corner windows as well as the sliders onto the lanai. We were only able to tear ourselves away from the view to take advantage of the best snorkel spot on the south shore RIGHT NEXT DOOR, Just grab a mask and fins and walk outside. Also next door is the best place to get a drink and watch the sunset! We definitely hope to come back!
Front row seats on a popular surfing spot. we also enjoyed visiting the nearby Spouting Horn several times.the wall of windows facing the ocean opens, so it feels like all the living room and kitchen are part of the lanai. AC also works, tho we turned it off to open the windows instead. adequate kitchen, comfortable beds, nice closet of loaner beach stuff plus beach towels. Figuring out how to get the parking pass was the confusing part of checking in (that and figuring out to open the outer front door to find the electronic lock on the inner front door; we tried putting our code into another keybox nearby instead first)
This unit on the third floor had great views of the ocean, surfers and sea turtles. At dusk, thousands of green parakeets fly in to spend the night in the palm trees. Around the West end of the building you can rent snorkel gear and snorkel from the small beach. You will see an amazing number of fish. Every morning we walked up to Living Market for coffee and pastries. Great place to stay.
This condo has fantastic views. We watched surfers and turtles daily from the lanai. The setup of 2 bedrooms and 2 baths was great for friends traveling together. The elevator was convenient and appreciated. Check-in was easy.However, there were a few items that need to be addressed. The light over the dining table was out, as well as the lamp and nightlight by the front door. The cleaners need to do a better job on checking lights as well as cleaning. The floors were dirty, there was dust hanging from the lamp in the room with 2 beds and the box fan was filthy. There is no AC in that bedroom, which was disclosed, so the box fan is needed. The shower floor had mold and could use a good scrub. There are tiny roaches in the kitchen and bath. We stored bread, cereal and chips in the microwave. The unit and furnishings are tired and in need of an update.The main issue though was the electricity. It would randomly cut off and on, multiple times throughout our stay. We wound up using a flashlight to shower with because the hall bath has no window or other source of light. If the power went off during your shower, you were totally in the dark. That was troubling and is a safety issue. I reported it but did not receive a reply. However, the toilet broke and that was resolved the same day, and we didn't have to hang around for maintenance, which was appreciated. All in all, we enjoyed our stay, but I wouldn't return until these issues are addressed.
We enjoyed our stay. The location and view are fabulous. Saw turtles, spinner dolphins and even whales spouting in the distance. Watched surfers and beautiful sunsets. Snorkeling in bay next to condo was great. Really appreciated all the beach gear that was available to borrow and kitchen was well stocked. The decor is a little faded/tired but really, the view, location and amenities were top notch. We would love to stay again.
Condo was very comfortable, had everything we needed! The location and views were just perfect for us. We saw whales, spinner dolphins, and so many sea turtles just from the lanai!
This is a wonderful property. It is right on the ocean with great views of sunrise and sunset. We could not have asked for a better location. We like the south shore if Kauai.
I love Kuhio Shores. Iâve stayed at this complex my last 6 visits. The condo is well furnished, clean and has everything you need. Everyone always leaves a little something in case you forget (sunscreen etc)
Very comfortable and well taken care of property.
Canât wait to return next year. You wonât be disappointed to stay here. Thank you for a great property and wonderful vacation!
The views from the Lanai were amazing! We got to watch 3-5 sea turtles in the water every morning and evening! The shower is actually IN the second bedroom, which steams up the room a bit, but with the AC on in the other room and the fan blowing, itâs manageable. We had a great time and would stay here again!
Absolutely sensational property, vacation of a lifetime
This was an incredible experience! Superb condo, a view that took our breath away every time we walked through the front door, and an amazing location / home base from which to explore the island. Owners were fabulous with communication and amenities, everything in the condo surpassed our expectations and then some. If we come back to Kauai, we are going to move heaven and earth to book here again. Thank you for a space that helped us live our dreams.
I took my 25 and 23 grandsons to Kauai and really wanted a central place to stay. They both surf and the best place was in front of our condo. Having 2 bedrooms and baths gave us privacy and the beds were super comfy. We spent most of our time on the patio just listening and watching the surf. We chose the perfect condo and I highly recommend staying there.
Spectacular views of the ocean. Couldnât get any better. Lived on the Lanai, most of the time. A bit dated. But so are we. Very clean. Very well stocked. Canât wait to come back. We seen all kinds of whales, Dolphins,
Magnificent panoramic view of ocean! Good communication with owner. Convenient parking and easy access to unit.
Kitchen well stocked.
Unit is in need of a deep clean and update. Uncomfortable furniture, mirrored closet doors that are difficult to open due to rust.
This is a great condo location. Right on the beach. Everything is local. Koloa is a darling town. Poipu beach is wonderful for snorkeling. The only problem with this unit is that the bedroom with the two twin beds has a very strong smell of mildew. My daughters had to sleep with the window open.
We came to Kauai in 1977 fell in love with the Tropical Climate- Took one look at Kuhio Shores on the ocean and bought condos 314 and 315. Our guests have complimented both condos over the many years and have made us very proud of our oceanfront condominiums.
